This paper investigates the understanding of environment thematic and its articulations with the teaching process present in the articles published on the proceedings of the Encontro de Pesquisa em Ensino de Física (Physics Teaching Research Summits) from 2000 to 2012. By Content Analysis' analytical procedures, it was discovered that those works take critical stands as far as the relationship between society and nature is taken into account, mainly as this relationship is associated to aspects such as complexity, uncertainty, controversy and critics to the present economic system. Regarding the educative process, some works make a relation between the field of Physics teaching and Environmental Education, whereas others articulate the focus environment-technology-society (STS) with discussions on environmental themes and Physics teaching.
